THE  ACADEMICAL  DEPARTMENT 
(YALE  COLLEGE) 


THE   ACADEMICAL  DEPARTMENT. 
(YALE  COLLEGE.) 

From  the  date  of  the  original  charter  of  the  Institution  in  1701,  a 

continuous  course  of  study  has  been  maintained 

leading  to  the  degree  of 

Bache;i,or  of  Arts. 

This  course  covered  three  years  till  17 10,   but  since  that  date 

has  required  four  years. 

With  the  incorporation  of  other  Departments,  this  became 

known  as  the 

Acade;micai,  Department, 

but  with  the  expansion   of  the  whole  into  Yale    University,    the 

original  title, 

YaIvE    C01.1.EGE, 

has  again  come  to  be  applied  distinctively  to  this  Department. 

The  number  of  Professors  and  Instrucfbors  for  1894-95  is  67. 

The  number  of  students,  1894-95,  is  1,150, 

coming  from  more  than  200  Preparatory  Schools  located 

in  36  States  and  Territories. 

The  number  of  persons  who  have  received  the  degree  of  B.A.  is 

11,173,  of  whom  nearly  one-half  are  living.

time,  except  that  some  of  the  rooms  on  the  ground  floor  are  occupied  by 
the  Yale  Cooperative  Society  for  their  store. 

The  Atheneum  was  built  in  1761,  and  removed  in  1892  in  order  to  make  room 
for  Vanderbilt  Hall.  The  lower  portion  was  used  as  the  Chapel  and  the 
upper  story  as  the  Library.  The  Library  was  removed  in  1803  and  that 
room  was  divided  into  three  apartments,  a  philosophical  room,  an 
apparatus  room,  and  a  museum.  In  1S24  the  Chapel  was  remodelled,  the 
lower  part  being  divided  into  recitation  rooms,  and  the  upper  part  used 
for  the  Societies'  libraries.  In  1829  a  tower  was  added  to  the  building 
for  an  Astronomical  Observatory.  In  1870  the  interior  of  the  Atheneum 
was  again  remodelled  and  then  contained  four  recitation  rooms. 

South  College  was  built  in  1793,  and  removed  with  the  Atheneum  in  1892. 
North  Middle  College  was  built  in  1800,  and  removed  in  1894. 
North  College  was  built  in  182 1.  Divinity  College  was  built  in 
1835  and  removed  in  1870  to  make  room  for  Durfee  Hall.  These  four 
buildings  have  always  been  used  exclusively  as  dormitories. 

The  Lyceum  was  completed  in  1804.  The  upper  story  was  used  for  the 
Library,  while  the  first  and  second  floors  were  used  for  recitation  rooms. 
The  Chemical  Laboratory  was  originally  located  in  the  basement.  The 
building  is  now  used  for  ledlure  and  recitation  rooms,  with  a  number 
of  rooms  fitted  up  for  student  apartments. 

The  Old  Chapel  was  completed  in  1824  and  was  the  College  Chapel  till  1876. 
It  contained  on  the  first  floor  an  audience  room  surrounded  by  a  broad 
gallery,  while  the  floor  above  was  divided  into  rooms  for  students.  The 
attic  was  used  for  the  Library.     In  1876  the  building  was  converted  into 


le(fture  and  recitation  rooms.

tories. A  connedting  wing  contains  three  engines  and  a  complete 
machine  shop. 

The  aim  throughout  the  course  is  to  teach  the  student  as  a  foundation 
for  his  life  work  the  scientific  principles  which  underlie  this  branch 
of  Engineering,  rather  than  the  manual  dexterity  which  comes  from 
pradlice  with  tools. 

The  second  floor  contains  the  Physical  laboratories  and  recitation  rooms,  which 
are  chiefly  employed  for  instru(ftion  in  the  Ele6trical  Course.  The 
dynamo-room  in  the  basement  is  furnished  with  a  number  of  generators, 
transformers,  and  a  storage  battery  of  fifty  cells. 

The  third  floor  is  occupied  by  the  Civil  Engineering  Department.  In  the  large

PROPOSED    FRONT    OF    THE    LAW    SCHOOL    BUILDING. 


141 


THE  YALE  LAW   SCHOOL. 

{Contimied.) 

The  students  are  afforded  peculiar  facilities  for  observing  actual  pradlice  in 
Court.  The  Law  School  building  is  located  within  two  blocks  of  the 
Court  House  of  New  Haven  County,  in  which  two  terms  of  the  Supreme 
Court  of  Krrors,  of  Conne6licut,  are  held  annually  :  while  the  Superior 
Court  and  Court  of  Common  Pleas  (the  principal  civil  and  criminal 
courts  of  the  State)  are  also  in  session  there  almost  daily,  during  each  of 
the  School  terms. 

ThK  Kent  Ci^ub — a  debating  Society — gives  a  good  opportunity  for  practice  in 
public  speaking,  and  the  formation  of  Ci,ass  Quiz  Ci<ubs  to  meet  in  the 
Law  School  apartments,  is  also  provided  for.  Those  formed  in  the  Junior 
year  are  under  the  special  direction  of  competent  instru6tors.  The 
discussion  of  legal  topics,  unreservedly  and  familiarly  by  the  students 
themselves,  is  promoted,  and  the  fail  that  the  members  of  the  School 
generally  come  from  a  wide  range  of  States  renders  such  comparison  of 
ideas  of  special  interest  and  value. 

The  Undergraduate  Students  are  required  from  time  to  time  to  draft  contra6ts, 
wills,  and  other  similar  instruments,  the  work  of  each  being  reviewed 
and  commented  upon,  either  in  public  or  in  private,  by  the  instrudtor. 

PuBWC  Moot  Courts,  besides  those  of  the  Class  Quiz  Clubs,  are  regularly 
held,  at  which  one  of  the  Professors  presides  as  judge,  and  the  students 
adting  as  counsel,  in  the  argument  of  cases,  are  required  to  draw  the 
necessary  pleadings,  according  to  the  law  or  equity  forms,  as  the  case 
may  be.  Occasionally,  also,  cases  are  tried  by  the  students  before  a  jury 
of  their  own  number,  in  a  court  regularly  organized,  with  a  full  comple- 
ment of  judicial,  clerical,  and  executive  ofiicers,  where  the  proceedings 
are  condudled  in  the  same  manner  as  the  ordinary  courts  of  law.

Anatomy,  Histology,  Chemistry,  Pharmacy,  Physiology,  Pathology,  and 
Baileriology. 

An  examination  in  English,  Mathematics,  and  Physics  is  required  for  admission, 
and  a  written  examination  is  required  at  the  close  of  each  year  on  the 
studies  of  the  year. 

Thk  Degree  of  Doctor  of  Medicine  (M.D.)  will  be  conferred  at  the  end 
of  the  course  upon  the  student's  passing  the  prescribed  examination  and 
presenting  a  satisfadtory  thesis  on  some  topic  of  medicine. 
A  number  of  valuable  prizes  are  open  to  members  of  the  graduating  class.

CLINICAL  INSTRUCTION. 

The  New  Haven  HospiTai,  is  situated  but  a  short  distance  from  the  Medical 
School  building,  and  being  located  in  a  large  manufadluring  city,  which 
is  also  a  considerable  railroad  centre,  its  wards  constantly  afford  ample 
material  for  the  illustration  of  disease,  and  furnish  frequent  occasions 
for  the  performance  of  the  various  surgical  operations. 

The  operating  theatre  is  equipped  with  every  requisite  and  convenience 
for  surgical  work,  and  is  planned  with  special  reference  to  making  the 
operations  available  for  purposes  of  instruction  to  students. 

Three  resident  physicians  are  appointed  annually  according  to  the 
results  of  an  examination  before  the  medical  staff. 

The  New  Haven  Dispensary  is  located  on  the  School  grounds,  and  is  so 
arranged  as  to  afford  the  greatest  facilities  for  the  examination  and 
treatment  of  the  many  patients  who  seek  aid  at  this  charity,  and  to 
furnish  the  best  opportunities  for  the  instrudlion  of  the  students  who 
daily  participate  in  the  work  of  the  institution.
